Villa for sale in Monlong, Hautes-Pyrénées, Occitanie

The heart of this home really is the kitchen, as we have stated (31.98m2), with a dining area which currently houses a table capable of seating 12. It is very well finished with fitted units, wall tiles in the fitted area, tiled floor, original beams and bi-fold doors which open on to the concreted yard where there is a lovely seating area.

The tiled hallway off the kitchen (17.4m2) has a downstairs WC and two very useful shelved storage cupboards; one medium-sized which houses the water meter and the other larger one is under the stairs. The staircase features open wooden threads and an ironwork banister.

At the other side of the hallway is a large room (19.93m2), currently used as a craft room, which could easily become a bedroom or downstairs lounge. Here, the floor is laminate and the ceiling beams have been left exposed.

There is wooden flooring throughout the first floor.

At the top of the stairs is the landing (4.43m2) with the original front door which is road facing.

Turning left takes you to the office (13.09m2) which is a beautiful calm room with Juliet balcony. From there, via French doors, enter the lounge (29.07m2). This is a lovely room with original ceiling beams, filled with natural light from dual aspect windows. In winter, although there is oil fired central heating, the current owners only use the large wood-burning stove. In fact, the owners have insulated the walls and ceilings throughout, making this a cosy and economical home.

Turning right on the landing leads to the area which was previously used as a Chambre d’Hote. This consists of three double bedrooms (9.67m2,9.31m2 and 12.83m2), a shower room, WC and linen cupboard. The largest of the bedrooms has dual aspect windows and a beautiful 90o balcony which overlooks the garden; so you can follow the sun!

There is a second stairway to the attic space. The area is well insulated and has great development potential. It covers the full footprint of the house (82.7m2) and already has four windows with the possibility of re-opening a further two which have been built up.

The outdoor area is low maintenance, making it a perfect ‘lock up and leave’.

Adjacent to the house is a large garage (42.92m2) which has water and electricity. It is currently used a a workshop. The large shower unit in the garage, with rainfall shower head, is an added bonus. There is an independent water heater to service the garage and kitchen.

A further, smaller outbuilding (15.41m2), which overlooks the lawned area, could be an ideal bar or pool house. The lawned area is a private sun trap and is screened by a mature coniferous hedge.

Both the lawned area and the concreted yard are pet-friendly with secure fencing/hedging along the perimeter.
